In my opinion, if an appropriated film is good enough to be archived then it needs to justify why it is “taking” context from other films (appropriating). And the reason scary movie does this is because it makes the audience clear that it is ‘mocking’ a number of different scary films. The film does this for a comedy effect, for example in the film when two of the characters are at the cinema, the preview screen reads: “The following peeview has been assproved for immature audiences only”, which is a joke in itself but also making it obvious to the audience what kind of a film it is. Another reason this appropriated film should be archived is because throughout the four scary movie films they reference many different films from the horror genre, so that the majority of the audience watching the film will be able to recognize at least some of the references from all of the films it is getting them from, and the audience will recognize where the humor is coming from.
